Pick6 G/T Updates by Lindsay Dear https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates Ways to address the needs of talented and gifted students in the Art classroom en-us 2018-07-25 16:14:10 UTC 2018-07-25 16:36:19 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png How would it feel to be an introvert in your classroom? - In the art classroom, I feel that it would be incredibly relaxing when we are working independently on specific skills or projects. Where I can see the anxiety for an introvert may lie in the formal critiques or presentations of the work. I think I need to create more opportunities for students to submit evaluations as written or critiques as annonymous. lindyoung https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271105203 2018-07-25 16:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271105203 Do you allow students a chance to work individually? -A majority of our projects are individual works. In the art classroom, we work at tables with four students at each. There is not a lot of room for students to be completely isolated. I may create a "quiet space" in the room to help ease some of the anxiety that may be caused from the mass of students in one room and the noise this may cause. lindyoung https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271105415 2018-07-25 16:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271105415 Do you call on kids after allowing adequate “think time”? -I have been implementing more opportunities for students to write their responses down before requesting the answers. I think it also helps to have the students work together and present answers as one group instead of individual responses. lindyoung https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271105577 2018-07-25 16:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271105577 Feedback for a teacher that will help them better understand and support a talentend and gifted introverted student in the classroom: I do feel the pressure that time constraints may have on a class period and can sometimes forget that going through content does not mean it has been absorbed. I would create different responses that students would all find engaging- whiteboard response, green or red cards for understanding (green is yes I understand, red is no I need more information), online classroom tools like classroom dojo with texted responses. lindyoung https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271105681 2018-07-25 16:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271105681 Reflecting on Introversion in the Gifted: I will watch more carefully for those students that exhibit more introverted tendencies. I can also look back at my own experiences in the classroom as an introvert. Picking groups was a frightening experience and perhaps one I need to adjust. It can be frustrating knowing the answer to a question and not feeling comfortable enough to share so I think I will implement more variety in the ways students can respond. lindyoung https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271106008 2018-07-25 16:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lindyoung/pick6gtupdates/wish/271106008
